The Greatest Example of Creation - BCT

BCT = Banana Trees, Coconut Trees, Tamarind Trees

Today, I was discussing various trees with my mom. She pointed out that every part of the Banana tree is useful in an Indian kitchen. The leaves serve as a great compostable plate for eating, the fruits are a healthy food, the bark itself is peeled and used in cooking- it tastes great. A banana leaf actually adds flavor to what is served on it- it is till the preferred form for serving food in South Indian traditional weddings. Nothing in the banana tree is wasted. Similarly the coconut tree leaves are stitched together and used as a plate, and the coconut water and its flesh are very tasty and healthy. The tamarind tree leaves are used in various ways in the kitchen, both green leaves and dried leaves, and the fruit is a common ingredient in Indian dishes. What wonderful gifts from the Goddesses!
